عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ مَنْ عُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ وَأُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) said: O Messenger of Allah! Which jihad is the most excellent? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one whose horse’s legs are cut and his own blood is shed.
